You and Vike know that these teams wore their throwback helmets a couple of years ago, right? They didn't go berserk then and it won't happen now.

That wasn't the trend back then, have you checked Oregon or any smaller conference college football team the latter part of this past decade? Each of them had a team color, white, black and chrome helmet with separate

sets to go along with each helmet.

So, by 2013 Cincinnati, ECU, Houston, Memphis, USF and many others were already wearing multiple helmets. 2012 was the last season the Buccaneers were able to wear the white helmet. As early as 2009 Tulsa was wearing multiple helmets. Baylor had 5 different color of helmets in 2013.

Lived in Minnesota since I was 4, all my friends are Vikings fans. Hard not to root for them as well. Was really hoping for a Vikings vs Packers NFC Championship this year, with the Packers winning of course.

Ehhh...I mean, growing up a Buccaneers and, once they were born, a Jaguars fan, I guess I could say I always had two. (now if you were to ask me who I'd pull for when they played each other, well...I often never took sides.) BUT, due to having moved around the country so much, I've tended to gravitate toward whatever team was in the town I lived in* (or closest to), which is how i ended up following the Colts for four years while living in Indy (of course by that time the Jags had become cheeks, so it wasn't that big a deal), and later the Snatit Titans during my four-plus years in Nashville. Now I've picked back up on Jacksonville (& long since cast off Tampa), but time will tell whether or not this happens with the Vikings going forward....

*This did NOT happen in Pittsburgh...seven years of living there never made me a Steelerhead. Didn't stop me from buying a bunch of their merchandise, though.

What if the NFL decided "Alternate Helmet Thursday" would be a possible way to raise TNF ratings?

[intro vamp from "Bitchin' Camaro" by the Dead Milkmen plays]

"Hey, you gonna watch Tennessee play Jacksonville on Thursday night for the 13th year in a row?"
"nah, I don't think so, I was just gonna eat Totino's Pizza Rolls and stare at a wall"
"Okay, well, I heard the Titans are going to wear light blue helmets instead of dark blue helmets"

"oh okay well now I will, I wanna see how this turns out"

I mean pizza rolls and the Titans in a Columbia blue helmet would certainly intrigue me...

(Although mostly the pizza rolls. I’d just wanna see a couple clips of the helmets in action)
